- People's recollections of Carrie Nation range from a female evangelical prophetess, to raving lunatic. Carry Amelia Moore was born into a family that operated a sharecropping plantation, that was in central Kentucky, on November 25, 1846. As a young woman she was unusually tall and not very pretty. She married a young man who, she discovered, was a free mason, a smoker, and an alcoholic. He left her at the age of twenty-one, and from then on she vowed to fight the demon liquor that had taken her man from her. She re-married, with several other women in her community, helped to form the Wormen's Christian Temperance Union, which is still in existence today. Yet Nation now took her crusade a step further, beginning a campaign of "hatchetation". Over the course of ten years, she led groups of women into saloons, wielding an ax, and smashed each place to bits. She made headlines all over the country, and was even the subject of at least four short films, where she was often portrayed in a comic light, by a male actor in women's clothes. Her fame soon got the better of her and she soon drifted into obscurity. She died in a mental health facility on Friday, June 9th, 1911, never living to see the result of her cause: the 18th Ammendment. Several years after the enactment of Prohibition, it was reported that an illegal liquor still has been discovered, on the grounds of Carry Nation's birthplace.

- American novelist Anna Katharine Green, often called "the mother of the American detective novel", was born in Brooklyn, NY, in 1846. She graduated from Ripley Female College in Vermont at 20 years of age. She intended to be a poet, a career choice no doubt enhanced by her meeting renowned poet Ralph Waldo Emerson, but her first published work turned out to be something entirely different: a detective thriller called "The Leavenworth Case" (1878), which was critically praised for its clever, well-constructed plot and an obvious grounding in criminal law (her father was a lawyer). The book was a resounding success, selling more than 150,000 copies. More successful detective thrillers followed, many featuring her character of detective Ebenezer Gryce. She finally tried her hand at poetry, turning out two volumes, but they were not successful, and she decided to devote her talents full-time to her detective novels.
She died in 1935 in Buffalo, NY. - Brtitish novelist, poet and playwright Mrs. W.K. Clifford was born Lucy Lane in Barbados, British West Indies, in 1846. In 1875 she married writer William Kingdon Clifford, and they settled in England. Although he was only in his early 30s, Kingdon's health began to fail and the couple moved to the Mediterranean in 1878. The new change in climate seemed to improve his health, but upon their return to England it began to decline rapidly. Another move to Portugal didn't help, and he died in March of 1879. She was left with two children and little money, but her friendship with writer George Eliot resulted in Eliot's helping her both financially and professionally; it was through Eliot's efforts that Clifford had her first works published in "The Standard", and for the next few years she was a regular contributor to that publication.
Her first novel, "Mrs. Keith's Crime", was published in 1885, but it didn't carry her name; it wasn't until the work was in its second printing that her name appeared on it. Over the following years she wrote in a variety of genres--plays, short stories, novels, poems--and she became a favorite of many of the finest writers of the day, among them Henry James, Thomas Hardy, Rudyard Kipling and James Russell Lowell.

His father was a lawyer who became famous as one of the discoverers of the Comstock Lode in Nevada. During the Civil War he served in the Lincoln administration as Internal Revenue Collector and Federal Assessor. Savage's father is also remembered as one of the founders of the Californian Republican Party.
As a young boy growing up in San Francisco, Savage was among the first students there to be able to attend public school. At the age of twenty-two he graduated toward the top of his class at West Point Military Academy and soon saw service in the American West on the staffs of former Civil War generals, Henry Halleck (1815-1872), Edward Ord (1818-1883), George Thomas (1816-1870) and John Schofield (1831-1906). Between 1871 and 1872 he served as a Major in the Egyptian Army as Military Secretary to former American General Charles Pomeroy Stone (1824 -1887), who at that time was Chief of Staff and General aide-de-camp to Isma'il Pasha (1830-1895), Khedive of Egypt and Sudan. Later Savage served as American Vice-Counsel in Marseilles and Rome and was appointed to a commission investigating a border dispute between the United States and Mexico. After his retirement from government service in 1884, Savage traveled extensively carrying out geographical studies in Japan, China, Korea, Russia, Turkey, the Mid East, and Honduras. Some have suggested that the 1930s and 1940s pulp hero, Doc Savage, was at least in part based on the eventful life of Richard Henry Savage.
In civilian life Savage was a lawyer, but eventually writing became his chief occupation. Of the over 40 books he wrote, "My Official Wife", Delilah of Harlem", "The Mask of Venus", "Our Mysterious Passenger and Other Stories" and "In the Shadow of the Pyramids", a biography of Isma'il Pasha were among his most popular. Savage published some thirty volumes of prose and poetry along with several more volumes of essays and speeches culled from his many speaking engagements.
On 2 January, 1873, Savage married Mme. Anna Josephine Schible (1843-1910), a recently widowed German aristocrat. The wedding took place at the German Embassy in Washington, D.C., where Baron Schlozer, the German Ambassador, was the witness of honor for the bride. Their only child, a daughter, later married Anatol de Carriere, the Russian Imperial Councilor of State.
Savage volunteered during the American war with Spain and served with distinction in Cuba as senior Captain of the 27th U.S. Volunteer Infantry. After the war he was appointed Brigadier General and Chief Engineer of Spanish War Veterans.
Richard Henry Savage died on 11 October, 1903, eight days after a horse and wagon ran over him at the corner of 6th Avenue and 42nd Street in New York City. Ironically his 86 year old father passed away in San Francisco on the same day his son was fatally struck down. - Lizzie Conway was born on 10 April 1846 in Pennsylvania, USA.
